Category Archives: Solr

If you are developing on top of Apache Solr, you might consider integration Solr with your maven build, by launching it from the maven-jetty-plugin. This brings several advantages, such as the possibility to shorten the time to get started in the project, unify the dev environment of the team with a fixed Solr version, do automated integration tests by launching and stopping Solr in the pre/post integration-test phase of the lifecycle and also creation of a single WAR contained the standard Solr with the custom plugins and configuration.

Here’s a way to do it:

1) Since solr.war is not yet available on public maven repo (SOLR-1218) make sure you deploy the solr.war file in any of your maven repo. In this post I’ll assume that solr.war is found inder org.apache.solr:solr-webapp:1.4.0 of you maven repo.
